More alive than I would have guessed, but not sure it's on a track to improve much. Vanilla, dark red & black fruits, a bit of clove/vanilla bean/cacao show themselves throughout. Med+ body, med acid & tannin only slightly notable. Feels like one to drink up, but still very good

No length or real character. Good last bottle or for guests who don't know wine. Grade of B- Properly stored. EDIT. I was a little harsh, the second night this was better. Grade of B almost B+

Bordeaux blend with 40% Merlot and 34% cab. Fruit-forward with mocha, strong vanilla notes. Not much in the way of tannins but still an enjoyable wine. Well worth the under $30 price.

Might be giving this bad boy/girl benefit of doubt, but enjoyed the dark blue/black berry fruited liqueur and white-chocolate-vanilla top notes. She was a bit spicy, rough-edged and hot, but sometimes we like them like this.

I have always enjoyed Mountain Cuvée but usually drink them a little younger. In reading sim of the recent reviews I was expecting the worst.
The wine opened up beautifully. Balanced and medium body.
Enjoyable as always.
